NOTE. 

"Having been a student of human 
nature and of the laws of nature for 
years, and having a faculty for tracing 
nature's laws backward as well as for- 
ward, through a mind which has been 
broadened by the absorption of an edu- 
cation by mental life, and knowing from 
this student life of nature the unscientific 
and unintelligent life which we are living, 
and believing that the time has come 
for higher teachings as to creation and 
life, I have been induced to write 
this book. First in the interest of a 
greater and higher human life; second, 
that the scientific and self -thinking world 
may take up my investigations and study 
them, not from the standpoint of man's 
teachings, but from a true scientific 
basis according to the great laws of 
creation, which will eventually lead

6 Note 

to a greater and higher life for all 
humanity/ ' 

"To this end I hereby dedicate this 
book to the scientific and self-thinking 
world, that through true science the 
highest aim of human life may be ob- 
tained, as designed by the Creators of 
all life."

THE 

TREE OF WORLDS 

— OR — 

A GREATER AND HIGHER CREATION 
AND LIFE. 



CHAPTER I. 

In the beginning of creation there 
could have been seen in yonder dis- 
tance, had there been eyes to see it, 
a black speck — a speck of darkness as 
dark as the darkest of night, as motion- 
less as the motionless dead, and as empty 
as the emptiness of space ; in fact, there 
was nothing but an empty space of 
darkness. 

How long this empty space of dark- 
ness had existed, or how long it has 
been since it could have been seen had 
there been eyes to see it, we will not 
say, but in the beginning of creation 

7 



8 The Tree of Worlds 

which began in this empty space of 
darkness there was created first of a 
power within themselves, two elements — 
two elements in which one could not exist 
without the other; yet there would have 
to be one before there could be the 
other; two elements the image of which 
is seen in all that is created, in both 
the earth and the heavens; two ele- 
ments, the god and the godhead, the 
creators and rulers of the earth, and 
the heavens, and all therein. 

What were these two elements? They 
were life and motion; life the female, 
and motion the male; life the god, and 
motion the godhead. Life there could not 
be without motion; motion there could 
not be without life. Yet there would have 
to be life before there could be motion, 
two elements which are opposite in 
function, but equal in force, yet they 
are inseparable, not because they are 
as one, or analogous to one, but be- 
cause one could not exist without the 



The Beginning 9 

other. But let us stop and ask, what 
is life, and what is motion, that we may 
have a better knowledge of the creators 
and of all that is created. 

Life is an element, the living symbol 
of all that exists in nature, the female, 
the soil from whence sprang all creation. 
Motion is an element, the living symbol 
of life, the male, the force of all that is 
created. They are two elements that can 
never die, for there is no power or force 
that can destroy them; being both the 
life and the force, the creators and rulers 
of all that is created, there can be no 
power greater than theirs. They are 
the only two elements that can exist 
in a single state; that is, they are the 
only two elements that can exist of a 
power within themselves, for they are 
the life and the force, the soil of life 
and the force of production, the crea- 
tors and rulers of all that can be created. 
There may be imaginary gods and imag- 
inary forces, but there can be no god 



10 The Tree of Worlds 

or no force without being created by 
these two creators and rulers, the god 
and the godhead, the parents in which 
exist the image of every element, with 
every intellect, function and power known 
to that of created life, and from which is 
created every element with every intellect, 
function and power known to that of or- 
ganic life. Created of a power within them- 
selves as the female and the male, the soil 
and the force of all creation, so was every 
element and every organ known to that of 
organic life created as the female and 
the male, the soil and the force of life, 
in which the creation of the female would 
have to precede that of the male, as the 
male is only the force without the life, 
and could not be created without the 
female, the soil of life. 

That these two creators and rulers 
were created in infancy in this dark, 
empty space of darkness of a power 
within themselves, there is no doubt, 
for in all creation there is seen the image 



The Beginning 11 

of these creators; and as all creations 
are created in darkness, so were these 
two creations; and as all creations grew 
from infancy to maturity, or to that of 
a greater power, so did these two crea- 
tors. Life growing from infant life to 
the great life of all that is created; 
motion growing from infant motion to 
the great power of all that is created. 
Created in infancy of a power within 
itself, these two creators grew by that 
same power to the great creators and 
rulers of the earth and the heavens and 
all therein. 



CHAPTER II. 

CREATION OF THE FIRST GERM. 

How long it took these two creators 
to grow to the age of puberty, or to that 
age of maturity wherein they were 
capable of creating other elements, we 
will not say, for time was not reckoned 
then. 

But .when they had grown of a power 
within themselves to the age of puberty, 
or that age wherein they were capable 
of creating other elements, there was cre- 
ated or born of them two other elements 
— two elements in which there are the 
same phenomena of life as in that of 
the creators, in which one could not 
exist without the other, and in which 
the creation of the female would have 
to precede that of the male. They 
were the elements of growth, so called cold 

13 



14 The Tree of Worlds 

and heat, which are the elements of con- 
traction and expansion, or the elements 
of elasticity, in which no created 
life, except the creators, could grow 
without the influence of these two 
elements of the growth of life. They 
are the female and the male elements 
of the growth of life, in which one could 
not exist without the other, as the ele- 
ment of heat, which is the male element, 
or the element of force, would destroy 
every element of organic life if it were 
not for the restraining element of cold, 
which is the female element of the ele- 
ments of the growth of life. Created in in- 
fancy, as all creations are, these two 
elements of the growth of life grew as their 
creators had grown, and with their 
creators formed the first germ of life, with 
the darkness of this dark, empty space as 
the shell, a germ so small that, had it 
been of visible matter, it could not have 
been seen with the human eye. Created 



Creation of the First Germ 15 

in darkness, as all creations are, this 
first germ of life, which consisted of 
the creators, the god and the godhead, 
with the two elements of the growth 
of life, cold and heat, grew as their 
creators had grown, from infancy to 
that of maturity, they began to prop- 
agate and multiply through sympa- 
thetic coition, until the whole space 
of this dark, empty shell of darkness 
became a space of so-called gaseous 
element, of different functions of life, 
each element consisting of the female 
and the male, in which one could not 
exist without the other. Yet, in their 
creation, the creation of the female 
would have to precede that of the 
male, for the male is only the force 
without the soil, for the propagation 
of life, so that in all creations as in 
that of the creators, it was the female 
that was created first, and not the male. 
In the creation of these so-called 



16 The Tree of Worlds 

gaseous elements of different functions 
of life, which formed the substance of 
this first seed of life, the two first ele- 
ments to be created or born of this 
first germ of life were two elements 
which are the combinators of all other 
elements. No elements could exist in 
combination as organic life without being 
held together by these two combinating 
elements, so-called oxygen and nitrogen, 
the female and male elements of the 
combinators of organic life — oxygen the 
female, and nitrogen the male; oxygen 
the sustaining element of life, and nitro- 
gen the sustaining element of force. 
While these two elements can exist in 
a single state artificially, they cannot 
perform their functions as combinators 
of organic life one without the other, 
nor could one exist without the other, 
for without oxygen, the sustaining ele- 
ment of life, there could be no life, 
for nitrogen, the male element, is only 



Creation of the First Germ 17 

the force without the soil, for the propa- 
gation and sustaining of organic life. 
That these two elements are the com- 
binating elements of organic life there is 
proof in all creation, as you may take 
organic life of any kind and deprive it 
of these two elements, oxygen and 
nitrogen, and see how quickly there will 
be dissolution so-called death. Yet take 
that dissoluted matter and add it to 
the earth, and it will enrich the earth, 
which shows that these two elements, 
oxygen and nitrogen, were the combi- 
nators, and that the two creators, life 
and motion, had not been destroyed 
through this process of dissolution, for 
they being the creators and rulers of 
all that is created, there was no power 
or force of dissolution that could de- 
stroy them, and that when these two 
combinating elements, oxygen and nitro- 
gen, the two first elements born of 
this first germ of life, had grown from 



18 The Tree of Worlds 

infancy to that of maturity, they began 
to propagate and multiply through sym- 
pathetic coition, as did other elements, 
the creation of which followed that of 
the combinators, until the whole space 
of this dark, empty space became a 
space of so-called gaseous elements of 
different functions of life, which grew 
from infancy to that of maturit}^, until 
every element known to that of organic 
life had been created, each element 
having been created in the two sexes, 
the female and the male, the whole being 
held together in this shell of darkness 
by the combinators, oxygen and nitro- 
gen, with the first germ of life from 
whence they had been created as the 
center, thus forming the first seed of life, 
from which grew this great organic tree of 
worlds, so-called the earth and heavens, 
which is nothing more nor less than a 
great organic tree of worlds, with each 
world as an organ of the function of 



Creation of the First Germ 19 

life, analogous to that of every tree 
of vegetable life, for in the creation 
and growth of this first germ and first 
seed of life, there is seen every law and 
every phenomenal function of life, as in 
the creation and growth of every germ 
and every seed of life, from the smallest 
to that of the greatest of vegetable 
human and animal life. 



CHAPTER III. 

THE FIRST SEED OF LIFE. 

When this first seed of life which 
consisted of the first organic germ of 
life as the center, surrounded by the so- 
called gaseous elements of the different 
functions of life, had become complete, 
then began the law of segmentation — 
a law in which matter is divided into 
organic matter, organic matter into or- 
ganic bodies, and organic bodies into 
organic worlds, it being through this 
law that every seed of life, either vege- 
table, human or animal, was divided into 
organic life. After the law of segmenta- 
tion had completed the outlines and 
function of each world, as an organ of 
life, then began the law of waste and 
accumulation, and the passing of organic 

life from a lower to that of a higher state 
21 



22 The Tree of Worlds 

of purity through the law of evolution, 
which is a law of sympathy; a law in 
which the higher creations have a sym- 
pathetic power over that of the lower, 
it being through this law that each crea- 
tion is in a higher and more perfect 
state than that of the former. 

When the law of segmentation had 
completed the outline of each world, 
from the substance of this first seed of 
life, they began to grow through the law 
of waste and accumulation, until they 
burst forth from this shell of darkness, 
as the first visible growth, which has 
grown from an invisible infant tree of 
worlds to the great organic tree of 
worlds, so-called the earth and heavens, 
with its many branches. For this tree 
of worlds has many roots and branches, 
analogous to that of every tree of vege- 
table life, each branch being marked 
by a star, or, in other words, each star 
marks a branch of this tree of worlds, 
the farthest branch from the root or 



First Seed of Life 23 

earth marking the highest branch of this 
tree of worlds. 

That this first seed of life was created 
in this shell of darkness from this first 
germ of life, there is proof in the fact 
that all creations are created in darkness 
from a germ of life, and grow until they 
burst forth from that shell of darkness 
as an organic growth, which grows from 
invisible to that of visible life, and 
from infancy to that of maturity. 



CHAPTER IV. 

THE CREATION OF EACH WORLD, AS AN 
ORGAN OF THIS TREE OF WORLDS. 

Now that we have traced the creation 
of the creators, the god and godhead 
with the creation and growth of the 
first germ and the first seed of life, 
from which grew this organic tree of 
worlds, so-called the earth and heavens, 
we will begin and trace up, step by step, 
the creation and growth of each world 
as an organ of this tree of worlds, that 
we may better understand the greatness 
of the creators, the god and the godhead, 
at the same time have a better knowl- 
edge of the greatness, yet the simplicity, 
of the great, broad and true laws of 
creation which govern not only the life 
and growth of this tree of worlds, but 
the life and growth of all that is created. 

In the creation of the so-called gaseous 

25 



26 The Tree of Worlds 

elements of the different functions of life, 
which formed the substance of the first 
seed of life, they were created as moist 
and dry gaseous elements, which grew 
through the law of waste and accumu- 
lation, after the law of segmentation 
had divided them into worlds, from 
moist and dry elements to that of the 
liquid and solid elements of this tree 
of worlds, the moist growing to that 
of the root, or so-called earth, while 
the dry grew to the body or so-called 
heavenly part, the whole being the 
growth from this first seed of life, which 
has grow r n from an invisible tree of 
worlds to the great organic tree of worlds, 
so-called the earth and heavens, in 
which we live. 

After the substance of this first seed 
of life had been transformed into the 
worlds through the law of segmenta- 
tion, and had grown through the law of 
waste and accumulation until they burst 
forth from this shell of darkness as the 



Creation of Each World 27 

infant growth of this tree of worlds, 
there was seen circulating through each 
world as an organ of this tree of worlds 
two elements of a different hue, one 
dark and the other light. They were 
the life fluids which had been created 
through the law of waste and accumu- 
lation, from the waste which had been 
thrown off through the law of segmen- 
tation, and which had grown from invis- 
ible to that of visible life fluids of high- 
ly illuminated powers, which circulate 
through each world as an organ of this 
tree of worlds, with the moon and the 
sun as the circulating mediums, analo- 
gous to what is seen in all organic life, 
for in all organic life there is found two 
life fluids which circulate from a center 
of life and a center of force, analogous 
to the life fluids of this- tree of worlds. 
As this tree of worlds began to grow 
after being born of this first seed of 
life, it became visible through these two 
life fluids, which are two highly illumi- 



28 The Tree of Worlds 

nating gaseous elements of a different 
hue, one dark and the other light, which 
circulate through this whole tree of 
worlds, with the moon as the center of 
life and the sun as the center of force; 
it being through the circulation of these 
two illuminating life fluids through this 
tree of worlds that marks the day from 
the night, or darkness from that of light. 



CHAPTER V. 

CREATION OF THE ROOT, OR EARTHY PART, 
OF THIS TREE OF WORLDS. 

In following up the growth of this 
tree of worlds, after each world had 
become visible through these life 
fluids, we come to that stage wherein 
the root, so-called earth, had grown, 
through the law of waste and accumu- 
lation, from that of moist, gaseous 
elements to that of liquid elements, 
so-called water, from whence was created 
the solid elements, or root of this tree 
of worlds, through the law of crystalliza- 
tion, which is a law of production, a law 
in which liquid elements are transformed 
into that of solid elements through the 
elements of cold and heat or the elements 
of the growth of life. 

As this tree of worlds grew through 
the law of waste and accumulations, as all 

29 



30 The Tree of Worlds 

creations grow, the waste which had been 
thrown off by this growth was absorbed 
by the liquid portion which is now the 
root of this tree of worlds; and being ele- 
ments of waste, they accumulated in dif- 
ferent parts or sections of this liquid space, 
so-called water, thus forming masses 
of dissoluted matter in a semi-liquid 
state, from whence was created, through 
the law of crystallization, superinduced 
by the elements of the growth of life, 
cold and heat, the root or solid portion 
of this tree of worlds, so-called the earth 
— a creation and growth which took 
years of time, and in which every ele- 
ment was created in infancy and grew 
to that of maturity, when they began 
to propagate and multiply through sym- 
pathetic coition, analogous to that of the 
higher creations, for there is no doubt ac- 
cording to the laws of creation but what 
the earthy elements, even to the sands 
of the ocean and the rocks of the hills, 
as well as that of every mineral and 



Creation of the Root 31 

every gaseous element found on the 
earth or root of this tree of worlds, prop- 
agate and multiply through sympathetic 
coition and grow from infancy to that 
of maturity, passing away at different 
stages of life, analogous to that of the 
higher creation, in this there is proof f i 
the fact that by depositing miner^few any 
kind in differenKaectioBS^oT the earth, 
where the climate is adapted to their prop- 
agation and growth, they in time will begin 
to propagate and multiply, analogous to 
that of vegetable life. This is why there 
is being found different minerals and dif- 
ferent gaseous elements in different sec- 
tions of the earth, where years ago they 
were unknown; for there is no creation, 
it makes no difference of what life, 
that can exist or be created, without being 
created through sympathetic coition, even 
to that of human life, the highest crea- 
tion, where sympathy prompts the act 
of coitive pleasure. 



CHAPTER VI. 

THE CREATION OF THE HILLS AND VALLEYS. 

When these masses of waste which 
had accumulated in different sections 
of this liquid space had grown from 
moist to that of earthy deposit, through 
the law of crystallization, they were sub- 
ject to the disturbing movements of the 
liquid elements, or water, which was 
caused by the phenomenal force of the 
elements of electricity, which are the 
vibratory elements of the motion of 
life and are the offspring of the elements 
of the growth of life, cold and heat. 
After the law of segmentation had divided 
the elements which constituted the sub- 
stance of this first seed of life into worlds, 
the first elements that were created or 
born of the two elements of the growth 
of life, cold and heat, were the two 
elements of electricity, the positive and 

33 



34 The Tree of Worlds 

the negative, which are the female and 
the male elements of the vibratory mo- 
tions of life, in which one could not 
exist without the other; yet in their 
creation the positive, or female element, 
would have to precede that of the nega- 
tive, the male element. That these two 
elements are the offspring of the ele- 
ments of the growth of life, cold and 
heat, there is proof in the fact that cold 
and heat are elements of contraction 
and expansion, and that the different 
bodies or elements that are the greatest 
abductors of cold and heat are the 
greatest abductors of electric elements, 
making both elements analogous in their 
function of the growth of life. 

While the earthy deposit which had 
been created from these deposits of 
waste was growing to that of solid earth 
through the law of crystallization, so was 
every world as an organ of this tree of 
worlds, each element and each world 
as an organ growing in proportion to 



Creation of Hills and Valleys 35 

their function of life, so that the liquid 
elements, or elements of water, grew 
to that stage wherein their activity 
through the phenomenal forces of the 
vibratory elements of life, caused waves 
in the liquid world, causing these earthy 
deposits which were in a semi-liquid 
state to form the hills, mountains and 
valleys, which have grown in size and 
shape as this tree of worlds grew, 
until they are the great hills, mountains 
and valleys of the present age. 

What is said of the earth's surface 
can be said of the root of this tree of 
worlds, for this tree of worlds has many 
roots and branches of great depths, there 
is no doubt, as there is not one crea- 
tion that can be pointed out that does 
not have roots and branches or their 
analogy. Even the sands of the ocean 
have what is analogous to roots and 
branches. 

While the hills, mountains and 
valleys which had been created by the 



36 The Tree of Worlds 

waves of the liquid world were growing to 
maturity so were the different species of 
rocks and minerals of the earth, which had 
been created through the law of crystalliza- 
tion, or law of transformation from 
waste of different earthy elements which 
had accumulated through the growth of 
the earth or root of this tree of worlds, 
under different phenomena of the 
elements of the growth of life. In 
this there is proof from the fact 
that on one side of the hill or moun- 
tain can be found one or two species of 
rocks or minerals, while on the other side 
may be found different species, which 
shows that in their creation they are 
created from different constituents of 
waste, which had accumulated from 
the growth of different earthy elements 
under different phenomena of the ele- 
ments of the growth of life, cold and 
heat. And that for the hills, mountains 
and valleys to be created through the up- 
heaval of the earth by so-called volcanoes 



Creation of Hills and Valleys 37 

could not be possible, for no one or 
two elements could destroy all other 
elements. If such were the case, there 
could be no organic life. The upheaval 
of the so-called volcanoes began thou- 
sands of years after the earth or root of 
this tree of worlds had been created, 
there is no doubt, and it is only proof 
that all earthy elements propagate and 
multiply through sympathetic coition 
and that there are new earthly elements 
being created every season which live 
and grow according to the laws of waste 
and accumulation, analogous to that of 
vegetable, human and animal life, so 
that the upheavals or volcanoes are 
caused through the propagating and 
multiplying of the different gaseous 
elements which accumulate in certain 
sections adapted to their propagation, 
and, being elements of expansion, the 
pressure becomes so great that explo- 
sions take place, thus igniting the car- 
bonating elements, causing volcanoes or 



38 The Tree of Worlds 

eruptions of the earth's surface in 
certain sections adapted to the propa- 
gation of these gaseous and carbona- 
ting elements. As the root or earthy 
part of this tree of worlds in which 
we live grew from a mere speck of 
moist gaseous elements, after burst- 
ing forth from the shell of darkness, 
so did the trunk and branches, so- 
called the heavenly part, grow from a 
mere speck of dry gaseous elements to 
the great tree and branches, so-called 
the heavens, which has been divided 
through the law of segmentation into 
worlds as organs of this tree of worlds, 
analogous to that of all organic life, 
so that in the creation of the trunk and 
branches of this tree of worlds, as well 
as in that of the root, there is the analogy 
of every element with every organ and 
every function of life as in that of vege- 
table life, which is an offspring or growth 
of this tree of worlds, and as animal life 
is an offspring of vegetable life there 



Creation of Hills and Valleys 39 

is an analogy in all creation, which 
cannot be disputed, for in all creations 
the law of inheritance is a law of crea- 
tions which cannot be denied. In the 
creation of the worlds as organs of this 
tree of worlds there are the moon and 
the sun, which are the brains and the 
hearts of this tree of worlds. They 
are the centers of life and the centers 
of force, analogous to that of vegetable, 
human and animal life. No organic 
life can exist without the analogy of 
these two centers of life and force. 

In the different so-called planets there 
is found the analogy of the organs of 
respiration, assimilation and elimination 
with every phenomenon of- the function 
of life, as in that of vegetable, human 
and animal life. In the stars there 
is found the analogy of the bloom or 
foliage of vegetable life, which marks 
every branch of this tree of worlds. In 
fact there is not one phenomenal func- 
tion of life in the anatomy and physi- 



40 The Tree of Worlds 

ology of vegetable, human and animal 
life that is not found in the anatomy 
and physiology of this tree of worlds. 
In the creation of vegetable, human 
and animal life there is a phenomenon 
in their anatomy and physiology which 
has never been recognized, yet such is 
the case. To point out these phenomena 
we will take the anatomy and physi- 
ology of human and animal life, they 
being an offspring or creation from 
vegetable life. The phenomenon being 
in a more pronounced state of develop- 
ment, so that in pointing out this phe- 
nomenon it can be more readily seen 
or understood. In the creation of vege- 
table, human and animal life, as well 
as in that of all organic life, there were 
created two, or what is analogous to 
two, the female and the male, of every 
organ and every element known to that 
of organic life. In human and animal 
life there are two brains, the female and 
the male, with two or what is analogous 



Creation of Hills and Valleys 41 

to two of both sexes of every mem- 
brane and every organ or substance 
that constitutes these two brains. There 
are two eyes, the female and the male. 
There are two, or what is analogous to 
two, of every organ that constitutes 
the organs of the throat. There are two 
lungs, two hearts in one, two stomachs, 
two livers, two kidneys and two supra- 
renal capsules. In the female there are two 
ovaries, the female and the male ; in the 
male two testicles, the female and the 
male, it being through this phenomenon 
that the two sexes are created. There is 
what is analogous to two spines, giving 
off two sets of nerves, with their many 
branches, analogous to the tree of vege- 
table life. There are two circulations, 
with two life fluids, analogous to the 
female and the male. In fact, there is 
not one organ, gland or membrane 
known to that of human and animal 
life that does not exist in the two 
sexes, and there is not one organ or 



42 The Tree of Worlds 

gland that gives off a secreting fluid 
but what the constituents of that 
fluid exist in the analogy of the two 
sexes. What is said of human and 
animal life, its analogy is found in that 
of vegetable life. In the anatomy and 
physiology of this tree of worlds there 
is found the same phenomenon of life 
as found in vegetable, human and ani- 
mal life. There are two, or what is 
analogous to two, moons and two suns, 
which admit of a double circulation, or 
the circulation of two life fluids. They 
are the brains and the hearts of this 
tree of worlds, the center of life and the 
center of force, without the analogy of 
which no organic life could exist. There 
are two, or what is analogous to two, 
the female and the male, of each of 
the planets, which constitute the organs 
of respiration, assimilation and elimina- 
tion. There are two life fluids which 
circulate through this whole tree of 



Creation of Hills and Valleys 43 

worlds, analogous to that of vegetable, 
human and animal life. They are the 
female and male elements of life, which 
in their double circulation through this 
tree of worlds mark the day from the 
night, or darkness from the light. 

Even the stars abide in the two sexes, 
the female and the male, all of which are 
nourished from the earth, or root of 
this tree of worlds; just as the body 
and branches of the vegetable tree are 
nourished through its roots, so that in 
the creation and growth of this tree of 
worlds there is found a tree of worlds 
which was created or born of the crea- 
tors through a germ and seed of life 
analogous to that of all organic life, for 
there can be no organic life without 
being created or born through the anal- 
ogy of a germ and seed of life. A tree 
of worlds which is stationary and grew 
upright, round in shape, with roots 
and branches, and with a center or 



44 The Tree of Worlds 

spine, so-called axis, with worlds as 
organs of the function of life, the whole 
being covered with two crusts or barks 
analogous to that of vegetable, human 
and animal life, which are, as we said 
before, simply offsprings or growths 
from this tree of worlds. That this 
tree of worlds is stationary and grew 
upright there is proof in the fact that 
in the anatomy and physiology of this 
tree of worlds there is found the analogy 
of every phenomenon of life, as found 
in that of vegetable, human and animal 
life; and as all vegetable, human and 
animal life was born of this parent tree 
of worlds, one direct and the other 
indirect, the phenomenon of their crea- 
tion and life could not be different, so 
that the idea that this world is oval in 
shape and revolves upon its axis with 
the sun and the moon revolving around 
the earth could not be possible. The 
idea having originated through man's 



Creation o) Hills and Valleys 45 

imaginations in his days of primitive 
knowledge, and which has been admitted 
up to the present time through his 
creeds, which admit of no foundation 
for the teachings of the true scientific 
laws of creations. 



CHAPTER VII. 

CREATION OF VEGETABLE LIFE. 

Now that we have traced up the 
creation and growth of the creators, 
the god and the godhead, with the 
creation and growth of this tree of 
- worlds, so-called the earth and heavens, 
in which we live, we ask when and how 
was vegetable life created; when and 
how was human life created; when and 
how was animal life created; all of 
which can be easily found by tracing 
up the great broad and true laws of 
creation, in which is found the image 
of all that is created in life, for there 
is not one creation that can exist without 
being created in the image of the crea- 
tors. In order that we may trace up 
the true creation of vegetable life, we 
will have to go back to the time when 
the earth or root of this tree of worlds 

47 



48 The Tree of Worlds 

was being created through the law of 
crystallization from the deposit of waste, 
which had accumulated in different sec- 
tions of what was at that time the 
liquid earth, that we may find the 
elements as well as that of the law 
and process through which the first 
vegetable life was created. When the 
process of crystallization of these de- 
posits which had accumulated in differ- 
ent sections of the liquid world had 
progressed to that stage wherein earthy 
deposits had been created, there had 
accumulated along the edges of the 
liquid and earthy deposit another species 
of waste which had been thrown off 
through the process of crystallization, 
thus making elements of liquid waste, 
from whence. was created vegetable life, 
through the law of fermentation, which 
is a law of transformation, a law in 
which new life is created from waste 
through fermentation, superinduced by 
the elements of the growth of life, cold 



Creation of Vegetable Life 49 

and heat, which had grown in power 
as this tree of worlds had grown, until 
they were capable of producing fer- 
mentation of this liquid waste. In the 
creation of the first vegetable life, through 
the law of fermentation there was first 
created a propagating ptomaine, which 
prepares the waste as soil for the prop- 
agation, first of the vegetable cell 
or spore, from whence grew the first 
germ and the first seed of vegetable 
life, which has grown step by step to 
that of the great trees of vegetable life, 
which are simpty branches or growths 
from the root of this tree of worlds; 
branches in which the tree is the high- 
est creation of vegetable life. Created 
in infancy in darkness, as all creations 
are, these first germs of vegetable 
life, grew to maturity when they 
began to propagate and multiply 
through sympathetic coition until the 
whole earth or root has become popu- 
lated with vegetable growths of many 



50 The Tree of Worlds 

species, the different species being cre- 
ated through the difference in the con- 
stituents of the liquid waste, which had 
accumulated from water of different 
constituents in different sections, under 
different phenomena of the elements 
of the growth of life. 

Thus it was that from the beginning 
of the creation of vegetable life there 
was created different species of vege- 
table life, as found in different parts of 
the earth or root of this tree of worlds. 
In the creation of these first vegetable 
cells and spores through the law of 
fermentation, there is no doubt but 
what there were a number of both 
sexes created at the same time. Yet, 
the creation of the female would have 
to precede that of the male, from the 
fact that in creations from fermenta- 
tion, as in that of all creations, life, 
which is the soil, would have to pre- 
cede that of motion, the male, so that 
in all creations the element of life would 



Creation of Vegetable Life 51 

have to precede that of motion. How 
long it has been since the creation of 
the first vegetable life there is no means 
of knowing, but as this tree of worlds 
grew from a mere speck of darkness, 
and as time grew as this tree of worlds 
grew, it would take thousands of years 
of time for this tree of worlds to grow 
to that stage wherein vegetable life 
could have been created. And as time 
was as yet in its infancy, without 
being reckoned, and as vegetable life 
grew through the law of evolution, from 
an invisible vegetable growth to that 
of the present stage, it should still be 
thousands of years since the first vegetable 
life was created, which has grown from 
an invisible infant growth to that of 
the tree, the highest creation of vegeta- 
ble life. 

Now, in order to prove that it was 
through the law of fermentation that 
the first vegetable life was created, and 
that it grew through the law of evolu- 



52 The Tree of Worlds 

tion from an imperfect to that of a per- 
fect vegetable growth, is to produce 
vegetable growth through artificial fer- 
mentation and watch its growth through 
artificial cultivation, and it will convince 
any intelligent mind that this was the 
true source of the creation of vegetable 
life. That there is new vegetable life 
being created every season in the same 
way, there is no doubt, but the process 
of growth and the change which takes 
place during their growth, through the 
law of evolution, is so slow that they 
are lost sight of; this with the new species 
which are created every season, through 
the amalgamation of the different species, 
makes it almost impossible to follow 
the growth of these new creations. 



CHAPTER VIII. 

CREATION OF HUMAN LIFE. 

Now that we have found the true 
creation of the first vegetable life, we ask, 
when and how was human life created; 
when and how was animal life created? 
Could it have been possible, for human 
life to have been created in the way 
which we are taught? Could such a 
creation have been possible? Such a 
creation of human life could not have 
been possible, for all creations are created 
or born through the great scientific 
laws of creation, and could not have 
been created in such an unscientific 
way as what we are taught. Human 
and animal life are analogous. Human 
life is the first and the highest creation 
of animal life, and was human in func- 
tion from the beginning of creation. 
In order that we may find the true 

53 



54 The Tree of Worlds 

source of the creation of both human 
and animal life, we will have to go back 
to the creation of vegetable life, that we 
may trace up the true source of the 
creation of both human and animal life. 
The true source of the creation of the 
first human and animal life was through 
the law of decomposition, which is a 
law of production, a law analogous to 
that of fermentation, in which new life 
is created from dissoluted matter through 
the elements of growth, cold and heat. 
After what would have been thousands 
of years at that period of the growth of 
this tree of worlds, had time been reck- 
oned then, and when vegetable life had 
grown to that stage wherein it was 
capable of undergoing decomposition, 
there had accumulated in different sec- 
tions of the root, or earth, masses of 
dissoluted vegetable matter, of the one 
species, that of the first creation, which 
underwent decomposition through the 
power of the elements of growth, which 



Creadon of Human Life 55 

had also grown in power as the tree of 
worlds had grown, until they were capa- 
ble of producing decomposition of these 
masses of vegetable matter, thus creating 
the first human germ, which was animal 
in function, yet being the first creation 
from the first and highest creation of 
vegetable life, they have grown through 
the law of evolution to that of human, 
the highest of the animal creation. So 
that in place of human life being created 
or growing from the lower creations of 
animal life, to that of human life, it 
grew from the higher creations of animal 
life, which was human in function from 
the beginning. This is why human life, 
though animal in function, is so much 
higher than that of animal life. 

As time went on there were different 
species of vegetable life created in differ- 
ent sections of the root, or earth, of this 
tree of worlds, through the law of fer- 
mentation, each species undergoing the 
same dissolution and decomposition, thus 



56 The Tree of Worlds 

creating the different species of human 
and animal life found in the different 
sections of the earth's surface. In this 
there is proof from the fact that in every 
section of the earth where there are 
found different species of vegetable life, 
there are found different species of both 
human and animal life. Not only in 
this do we have proof that human and 
animal life were created from vegetable 
life, but there is positive proof in the 
fact that there is not one thing that 
can be pointed out in the creation of 
vegetable life that its analogy cannot be 
seen in the creation and growth of 
human and animal life, the greatest 
difference in the analogy being that vege- 
table life is stationary as to position, yet 
pliable or movable as to the body, while 
human and animal life, being of a higher 
creation, are movable both as to posi- 
tion and body. 

In the creation of human and animal 
life through the law of decomposition, 



Creation of Human Life 57 

as in that of vegetable life through the 
law of fermentation, there is first created 
a propagating ptomaine which prepares 
the decomposed matter as soil for the 
propagation of the germs. Thus it 
is that in all creation it is not the germ 
that first produces life, but a propagating 
ptomaine which is invisible, and in which 
exist the two elements of all life, which 
contains the same elements as that of 
the creators, life and motion. 

Now that we have found the true 
creation of life from the creators to that 
of human life, we ask, what of the law 
of inheritance? Is there such law, and 
what relation does that law bear to all 
created life? Would it be possible for 
any life to be created without being 
created or born of the creator, the image 
of which is seen in all that is created? 
Would it be possible for there to be 
any creation of life without the offspring 
bearing some image, either in shape, 
form or habits to that of the parents? 



58 The Tree of Worlds 

Would it be possible for the tree, the 
highest creation of vegetable life, to be 
created or grow from this tree of worlds 
without bearing some image of that 
parent tree from which it grew? Would 
it be possible for human or animal life to 
be created of vegetable life without 
being analogous in some way to that 
of vegetable life? As the image of the 
creators follows all that is created, so 
does the image of the parent follow 
that of the offspring. If the earth or 
root of this tree of worlds so-called the 
earth and heavens is round and spherical 
in shape, and revolves on its axis, if the 
sun and the moon revolve around the 
earth, as we are taught, why is it that 
everything that is created is created with 
branches? There is not one creation 
that can be pointed out, but what is 
created with branches or their analogy. 
Could this be possible, according to the 
laws of inheritance, if this so-called 
world was round and the earth revolved 



Creation of Human Life 59 

on its axis with the moon and the sun 
revolving around the earth, could it be 
possible for the moon and the sun to 
revolve around the earth, when the 
analogy of the same organs in vegetable, 
human and animal life, which are direct 
and indirect offspring from this tree of 
worlds, are stationary? Would it be 
likely that the great creators would 
create such an unscientific piece of work 
as what we are taught in the creation of 
the world, yet create all other life accord- 
ing to the great broad and true laws of 
conception and growth? Such could not 
be possible, for all life must be created 
through conception and growth by the 
creators, and this tree of worlds could be 
no exception. So that the law of inherit- 
ance is proof that this tree of worlds, so- 
called earth and heavens, is an organic 
tree of worlds, analogous to that of 
vegetable life, and not the unscientific 
world, that we are taught. 
In the analogy of vegetable, human 



60 The Tree of Worlds 

and animal life, how many students of 
nature have ever stopped to note the 
perfect analogy of the creation, life and 
habits of human and animal life to that 
of vegetable life? In their creation they 
were created through the laws of fer- 
mentation and decomposition, which are 
analogous, as they are both laws of 
production. They live, grow and propa- 
gate by the same laws of waste and 
accumulation. They grow to that of a 
higher state of purity through the same 
law of evolution. In vegetable life there 
is found the analogy of every organ 
with every function and every sense of 
life known to that of the highest creation, 
of human life. In vegetable life they 
sleep by night and enjoy life by day, 
analogous to that of human life. They 
have their vegetable likes and dislikes. 
They see, hear and have the same 
sense of smell as that of human life. 
They have what is analogous to the 
same pleasure as that of human and 



Creation of Human Life 61 

animal life. They cohabit and propa- 
gate through what is analogous to the 
same sense of pleasure, the offspring 
being created through a germ of life 
analogous to that of human life. In 
fact, there is not one phenomenon of 
life that can be pointed out in human 
and animal life but what its analogy 
can be found in that of vegetable 
life. How many students of nature 
have ever passed through the forest 
and noted the perfect analogy of the life 
and growth of the trees to that of human 
life? There you will see the young, the 
middle aged and the aged. You will see 
the beautiful and homely, the short and 
the thick, the tall and the slender, the 
symmetrical and unsymmetrical, the bent 
and the stooped. You will see the 
maimed and the paralytic, with their 
dead branches, and those who have been 
fortunate and unfortunate, You will 
see the difference in those nourished by 
poor soil and those nourished by rich 



62 The Tree of Worlds 

soil. You will see the weak and the 
strong, and will often see the stronger 
destroying the weaker, just the same 
as in that of human life. You will see 
the different species of the tree, with 
their different habits and their different 
dispositions. You will see the whole 
analogy of the creation of life, of vege- 
table, human and animal life, so perfect 
that there can be no mistake regarding 
the relations they bear to each other. 
Could this be possible were it not through 
the law of inheritance? Could it be pos- 
sible for vegetable, human and animal 
life to bear any analogy to each other, 
if it were not through this law of 
inheritance? 



CHAPTER IX. 



THE AIM OF LIFE. 



Now that we have traced up the 
analogy of all creation through the law 
of inheritance, we ask, what of life? 
What is the aim and purpose of life? Is 
all life analogous? Is all life endowed 
with intelligence? Is all life capable of 
active thought? The aim and purpose of 
life as created by the creator is pleasure 
and happiness. What is there in this 
world that is greater than pleasure and 
happiness? If this were not the case, 
why is it that everything that is beauti- 
ful to the eye and pleasant to the sense 
of hearing is so pleasant to life? Purity 
and perfect happiness is the chief aim 
of all life as created by the creators. All 
life is analogous, from that of the lowest 
to that of the highest. Yet all life is 
created in a different intellectual scale 

63 



64 The Tree of Worlds 

of purity or impurity, according to the 
soil from which it was created. This 
is shown in the creation of vegetable 
life, as well as in that of human and 
animal life. Sow the seed of vegetable 
life in poor soil, and the growth there- 
from will be in a low state of vegetable 
life. So it is with human and animal 
life. All life in its normal state is en- 
dowed with a certain amount of intelli- 
gence, according to the scale of life in 
which it exists. There can be no life 
without intelligence, as intelligence is a 
part of life. In the idiot or irresponsi- 
ble it is a disarrangement of this part of 
life. All normal life is capable of active 
thought, according to the scale of life 
in which it exists, first as an instinct, 
which grows into that of active thought. 
Instinct and thought are both a part 
of normal life. If such were not the 
case, what object or purpose would there 
be in life? There could be no creation 
without active intelligence and active 



The Aim of Life 65 

thought, as they are the inspirations of 
all active life. In vegetable life the in- 
stinctive powers are greater than they 
are in human and animal life, vege- 
table life being a direct growth from 
the root of the parent tree, or tree of 
worlds, and, being stationary, it is en- 
dowed with the highest scale of active 
instinct, while that of human and animal 
life, which are a higher creation, and 
migratory in their movements, are en- 
dowed with the highest scale of active 
thought. Human life, being the highest 
creation of animal life, is capable of 
exercising the highest scale of active 
thought known to life. 



CHAPTER X. 

HUMAN LIFE. 

Now that we have considered the 
relation of active instinct, intelligence 
and thought to that of vegetable, human 
and animal life, we ask, what of human 
life? What of woman, and what of man? 
Were they created with equal power 
and intelligence? What of civilization? 
Are we civilized? Is the life we are 
living consistent with that of true civili- 
zation? What of the hereafter? Are 
there such places as heaven and hell? 
Are we born again, or do we enter a 
place of enjoyment or sorrow forever 
and ever, as we are taught? Does this 
tree of worlds ever die or pass away? 

Human and animal life are analogous. 
Created from vegetable life through the 
law of decomposition, they are analogous 
not only in flesh and blood but in every 

67 



68 The Tree of Worlds 

instinct of normal life, the difference 
being that human life was created from 
the first and highest creation of vegeta- 
ble life, while that of animal life was 
created from the lower and mixed 
species of vegetable life. So that we 
will only consider that of human life. 
But what of human life? What of 
man, and what of woman? Were 
they created with equal power and in- 
telligence, or was man created superior 
to that of woman? Could it be possible 
for man to be created superior to that 
of woman, when they were both creat- 
ed from the same material, at the same 
time, with the same law, and by the 
same creators? According to the great, 
broad and true laws of creation that 
know neither creeds nor doctrines, it 
was woman that was created first and 
not man; and that woman and man 
were created representing two opposite 
powers, equal in force, but with the 
addition of woman's mission and woman's 



Human Life 69 

birthright, it makes her superior to that 
of man in created life, for man could not 
exist without woman, as woman is the 
soil for the propagation of man. But 
man stole woman's birthright, not by 
stealth nor by force, but by his creeds, 
which originated with him in his prim- 
itive days through tyranny, deceit and 
hypocrisy. 

As human life grew from that of a 
primitive state to that of an intelligent 
human being, capable of self-govern- 
ment in a primitive way, man who repre- 
sents the force of life, conceived, through 
his ignorance of the true laws of crea- 
tion, imaginary creeds, so-called inspira- 
tions, through which he stole woman's 
birthright and practically enslaved her 
for years. This is why woman does 
not enjoy her normal place as a factor 
in the world of life. But there is nature's 
great law of evolution, which in time 
rights all things . The first shall be last and 
the last shall be first. That woman will 
take her normal place as a factor and 



70 The Tree of Worlds 

power in active life, you need only go 
back ten and twenty years and note the 
great change that has taken place in 
woman's life. And then look forward 
fifty or a hundred years when you will see 
woman the leading power, not by physical 
force, but through that inherited power 
of created life given her by the creators. 
In the creation of all life, even in the 
elements that constitute organic life, 
there is found the same phenomenon 
of life wherein the male element, or 
element which represents the force of 
life, would destroy the opposite or female 
element if it were not that it is the life- 
giving ' element which cannot be de- 
stroyed by the element of force, as the 
element of force could not exist with- 
out the element of life. 

In the creation of man's creeds by 
man, so called inspiration, they were not 
inspired direct from God or the creators, 
as that would be impossible. Inspira- 
tion is a law of activity — a law of active 
life, in which all life lives and acts through 



Human Life 71 

the law of inspiration, which was the 
first law that was created by the creators. 
There could be no active life if it were 
not for this law of inspiration. A law 
like that of all creation in which it 
admits of the two opposites, so that 
both good and bad were inspired from 
this same law of active life or active 
creation. No life could exist without 
this law of inspiration, and those who 
set themselves up as being possessed 
of inspirations direct from God or the 
creators do so through ignorance of the 
true law of inspiration. Man in his 
primitive days, being ignorant of the 
true laws of creation, used the word 
inspiration for all good, as being direct 
from God, that his creeds and power 
might be more impressive to the people; 
it being through this false assumption 
that man gained his monopolistic power 
over that of woman. But in the light 
of true creation such teachings are be- 
coming obsolete and passing away, as 
docs that of all creation. 



CHAPTER XI. 

WHAT OF CIVILIZATION ? 

But what of civilization ? Are we 
civilized ? Are we leading a true life of 
civilization ? Have we reached that 
stage of human intelligence due a 
true civilized people ? We are as yet in 
our infancy in civilization. We are but 
a few grades above that of the heathen 
in our creeds, and but a few grades 
above that of animal life in our modes 
and habit of life. Let us lay aside all 
teachings under man's creeds, right or 
wrong, that we may analyze the so-called 
civilized life that we are living, and see 
if it is in accord with the great broad 
and true laws of creation 

The heathen in their creeds of a prim- 
itive life set up and worship an idol of 
wood or stone, as an intermediate be- 
tween themselves and the great spirits 
above, that their sins may not be miti- 

72 



Human Life 73 

gated or forgiven, for they know no sin, 
but that they may pass into the spirit 
world, where they in their primitive 
thoughts wish to enjoy the same pleasures 
and happiness of life as in this world. 
While we in our boasted civilization are 
worshiping under man's creeds, not the 
great spirit, but are worshiping a female 
god as a male god, in place of worshiping 
the creators, the god and the god- 
head, the creators of all creation, and 
have set up an idol of our own flesh 
and blood as an intermediate, that we 
may enter that spirit world free from 
the sins of a vicious life, that we may 
enjoy the pleasures, or, in other words, 
a life of idleness forever and ever. 
Which idea of the hereafter is the most 
intelligent? Ours is certainly the most 
misleading, for it teaches that it makes 
no difference how vicious our lives have 
been on earth, all we have to do when 
we come to die is to lie down on our 
couch and appeal to that intermediate, 



74 The Tree of Worlds 

that idol of flesh and blood, and we 
will wake up in the spirit world free 
from the sin of a vicious life. Could 
this be possible according to the great 
laws of creation? For was not the 
material in life of which the heathen's 
idol was created or made, conceived and 
born of the creators analogous to that 
of flesh and blood? for there is no life 
that can exist, or could be created, 
without being created or born of the 
creator. Why should there be an inter- 
mediate between the creators and the cre- 
ated? Are the creators so great that 
there must be an intermediate between 
themselves and human life? Why was 
there not a female intermediate created 
or born as set forth, as well as that of the 
male? Why was man alone selected? 
Why is it that vegetable and animal life, 
which have souls in their sphere of life 
just as that of the human life, are grow- 
ing to that of a higher state of purity and 
intelligence, through the law of evolu- 



Human Life 75 

tion, as time goes on. Have they an 
intermediate to intercede for them as 
that of human life? Even the heathen 
with their artificial idols are gradually 
growing through that same law of evolu- 
tion to that of a higher and more intel- 
ligent life. Why, then, should human 
life the highest creation of intellectual 
life, need an intermediate to mitigate 
the sins of a vicious life, that they may 
enter that spirit world in a pure state? 
Could it be possible for such to be the 
case? Neither man's creeds nor his in- 
termediate idol of flesh and blood will 
have any more influence in changing 
the soul of that vicious life, when it 
passes into that spirit world, than the 
heathen's artificial idol of wood or 
stone would have. For there is no 
law of creation that can be changed 
by the creeds of man, and there is no 
law of creation that will admit of human 
life being changed before or after pass- 
ing into that spirit world by the creeds 



76 The Tree of Worlds 

of man; for the great broad and true 
laws of creation are imperative, and 
could not be changed except through 
the great law of higher creation, evolu- 
tion. 



CHAPTER XII. 

WHAT OF OUR SOCIAL LIFE? 

But what of our social and intellectual 
life? Are we civilized? Are we far 
above that of animal life in our modes 
and habits of life? Let us again lay 
aside all prejudice, right or wrong, and 
look at our modes and habits of life 
with an unbiased mind; and what do 
we see? 

In the first place, we see great nations 
going out and killing off and destroying 
the possession and happiness of smaller 
nations, just as the wild animals do, 
even down to that of the ant — killing 
off and destroying the possession and 
happiness which had been given them 
by the creators. For what? To satisfy 
man's vicious greed, which has not as 
yet grown above that of animal life. To 
satisfy that part of man's vicious life 

77 



78 The Tree of Worlds 

which has not as yet grown above that 
of animal life. Look at the many vicious 
and tyrannical laws under which we are 
living, so called laws of civilization, 
based on man's creeds, laws which are 
manufacturing criminals almost as fast 
as human life is being created. Look 
at our great prisons, which stand as a 
monument to these tyrannical and vicious 
laws of man. Look at our as}dums, which 
stand as a monument to the vicious, 
and strenuous life we are living, a 
life born of avarice and ignorance. Look 
at our child slavery, made so by the 
accursed greed and tyranny of man's 
commercial life. The lowest heathen on 
the face of the earth would turn his 
face in shame at such degrading slavery 
of childhood life. Would this be so if we 
were living a truly civilized and intelli- 
gent life, according to the laws of crea- 
tion? Look at our propagating life. 
The lowest animal of the jungle, and 
the lowest heathen that can be found 



What of Our Social Life? 79 

pays as much attention to the purity 
of the propagation of life as we do. 
Look all around us at the degredation 
and distress. Caused lyy what? By man's 
commercial slavery, under the guise of 
respectability. A system of commercial 
slavery wherein a few can dictate to the 
whole world what they shall pay for the 
commodities of life, even for the salt of 
the earth, which is a necessity of life. 
Would a true civilized and intelligent 
people allow such to be the case? 
Look at our financial world. A more 
monopolistic system of finance could 
not be devised by man; a system con- 
trary to every law of nature, and every 
law of a healthy, finance, and is in accord 
with man's tyrannical laws of commer- 
cial life under the guise of respectability. 
Look at our political world. What of it? 
Corruption, deceit and hypocrisy mark it 
from beginning to end. There is but little 
honor or integrity, nothing but that same 
spirit of man's tyrannical greed and op- 



80 The Tree of Worlds 

pression, which marks his commercial 
and financial world, all under the guise 
of respectability and modern life. Is 
this civilization? Is such a life the 
life of a true, civilized and intelligent 
people? Could it be possible that it 
was ever designed that we should live 
such lives under the guise of civiliza- 
tion? But how long will such a life 
last? Will it always be so? Will man's 
tyrannical laws always rule the world? 
Does not everything according to the 
great laws of creation decay and pass 
away? So will man's reign of tyranny, 
with his creeds and laws, and the teach- 
ings of nature's great laws of love, 
honor and integrity will take their place. 
When? As soon as that great law of 
evolution, that law of higher creation, 
can give back to woman that stolen 
birthright, that she may take her place 
in active life which has been designed 
for her by the creator, as a checkmate 
to the tyrannical power of man. When 



What of Our Social Life? 81 

through that same law of creation we 
have reached that stage of intellectual 
life where we are capable of basing all 
creeds and laws on the great laws of cre- 
ation, which are love, honor and integrity 
— in place of tyranny, greed and deceit. 
Then, and not until then, will human life 
begin to enjoy the pleasure of a higher 
civilized life. Then, and not until then, 
will human life begin to enjoy the happi- 
ness and pleasures of a truly civilized 
and highly intellectual life, as designed 
for us by the creators. How many per- 
sons are there who have gone out after 
a very hot day and cast their eyes over 
the earth as far as the eye could see, 
and noted the destruction being wrought 
by the heat or male element of the 
growth of life — how all vegetation was 
wilting and drying up; how the tiny 
flower as well as the staid old oak was 
suffering from the merciless power of 
that element of heat? Even the earth 
was being robbed of its life-giving power. 



82 The Tree of Worlds 

How all creation would be destroyed 
were it not for an opposing element of 
equal power. How many have gone 
out the next morning and noted the 
great change that had taken place, under 
the opposing force of the female element, 
the element of cold — how all vegetation 
had opened up its foliage and grown in 
power and beauty; how the tiny flower 
and the great oak had bloomed forth 
alike in honor to the life-giving element, 
the element of cold? So it is with every 
element that constitutes organic life, 
as all elements exist as the female 
and male, in which the male element, 
or element of force, would destroy the 
element of life if it were not for the 
opposing element which is equal in 
power. In animal life as well as in 
vegetable life there is the same phenom- 
enon of life. In human life man's tyran- 
nical power, like that of the heat, would 
destroy all the happiness and pleasures 
of life were it not for the opposing 



What of Our Social Life? 83 

power of that of woman, which has been 
withered and oppressed by man's greed 
of power, until through nature's great 
law of evolution she is gradually taking 
her normal place as the opposing power 
of man's tyrannical greed of power; and 
the time will come sooner or later when 
man will be shorn of his monopolistic 
and tyrannical power, not only in the 
commercial world, but in the political 
world, as well as in that of all life. 



CHAPTER XIII. 

LIFE IN THE NEXT WORLD. 

Of life in the next world — what of it? 
What of life after leaving this earthly 
body and entering into the next world? 
Are there such places as so-called heaven 
and hell, for the pure and impure 
human life? Could there be such places 
when there will be all grades of human 
life to enter the next world, with no 
human life as yet perfect in purity? 
Would it be possible for human life or 
any life to enter such places for pleasure 
or punishment forever and ever? Would 
it be possible for any law of nature to 
stand still or become dormant, or for 
any life either good or bad to stand still 
in growth or become dormant in life? 
Such would be impossible, as it would 
be contrary to every law of creation. 
There are no such places as heaven and 

85 



86 The Tree of Worlds 

hell. They are man's imaginary insti- 
tutions. Everything that is created has 
life, and every life has a soul. And 
every soul has a conscience according' 
to the scale of life in which it lives, 
human life being the highest intel- 
lectually. Heaven or hell is the state 
which the conscience is in, either in 
this world or the next. In the next 
world, after being shorn of the crudeness 
and influence of this earthly life, and 
viewing the beauties and pleasures of 
the next world, the activity of the con- 
science as to what life has been on earth 
will be the heaven or hell of all intellec- 
tual life, so that the brightest heaven 
and the darkest hell of conscience will 
be in the next world. No law of crea- 
tion can ever stand still or become 
dormant, so that no life, either good 
or bad, can ever stand still or grow 
dormant in life. They either grow to 
a higher state of purity or a lower state 
of impurity, until they lose their identity 



Life in the Next World 87 

as individual lives. Every life is a free 
agent with the purity of nature's great laws 
as its guide. Every intellectual life can re- 
pent of a vicious or wicked life ; not through 
any intermediate — they have no power or 
influence whatever. A pure thought 
is a prayer, and a prayer is a stimulus 
of the better element to overcome that 
of the evil, for in this, as in all creation, 
there are the two opposites, the good 
and the bad. The soul being of the same 
element as that of the creator, there 
is that parental sympathy between the 
two that is found in all nature, but 
no prayer can ever change the scale 
of that life direct so that it would enter 
the next world in a state of purity. 
That would be impossible. Life can 
only grow to that of a higher state of 
purity through nature's great law of 
higher creation, evolution. A vicious 
and deceitful life places that soul in a 
low scale of life in the next world, which 
all the prayers that could be uttered 



88 The Tree of Worlds 

before dissolution or death could not 
place that soul in any higher scale of 
life in the next world, until it grows to a 
higher scale through the law of evolution. 
Every life is a free agent in the next 
world as in this, for life in the next 
world is only a continuation of life in 
this world, and will enter the next 
world in the same scale of purity or 
impurity as it was in this world. There 
will be all grades of life, just as there 
are in this world. Even in that world 
where nature stands forth in all its 
beauty, some will grow to that of a 
higher state of purity, and others to 
that of a lower state of impurity, until 
they lose their identity as individual 
life. There will be as many souls in 
the higher scale of human life in the 
next world that never more than uttered 
a thought in prayer, as there will 
be that served man's creeds all their 
lives, for it is deeds and acts and not 
prayers that mark the higher scale of 



Life in the Next World 89 

human life in the next world. A humane, 
honest, happy, cheerful life that enjoys 
the beauties and pleasures of this world 
will mark the highest scale of human 
life in the next world. For the beauties 
and pleasures of this earth which man's 
tyrannical laws have almost destroyed, 
were given us to enjoy as a guide to 
the pleasures of life. Of the next world 
— where is it, and what is it like? Does 
the soul pass to that of another world 
after so-called death? Would it be pos- 
sible for the soul of life to soar away 
to some distant world after leaving this 
earthly body? Could such teachings be 
possible? Properly speaking, the soul 
of life does not pass to that of another 
world after leaving this earthly body. 
It simply passes back to the body or 
life of this tree of worlds from which it 
came. The soul being of the same 
element as that of the creator, and the 
body being an indirect branch of the 
root of this tree of worlds, it could not be 



90 The Tree of Worlds 

otherwise, according to the great laws of 
creation and dissolution, for as dust unto 
dust thy body does return, so life unto 
life thy soul must return. Where, then, 
is this next world? What is it like? 
Is it a place of beauty or a place of 
homeliness? Is it a place of idleness, 
where the soul can languish in idleness, 
either in happiness or sorrow forever 
and ever? The next world is any place 
within the body of this tree of worlds 
outside of the organs of the function of 
life, and is both beautiful and homely, 
for there will be in the next world the 
image and spirit life of all that exists 
in this world. There will be both the 
beautiful and homely, just as there is in 
this world. But, being shorn of the 
crudeness of this earthly body, every- 
thing will stand forth in such beauty 
that even the homely will look beautiful 
to the soul of purity. There will be in 
image the hills and the valleys with 
the soul of life of all that grew from them, 



Life in the Next World 91 

and which will stand forth in all their 
beauty of spirit life. The flowers will 
bloom forth in their spirit life in such 
magnificent beauty that it could not be 
described. Even the songs of the birds 
in their spirit life will be so sweet that 
they will be enchanting. So it will be 
with all creation, for in that spirit world 
there will be found an image and spirit 
life of all that was created in this earthly- 
life. So that the enjoyments and sor- 
rows of every human life in the next 
world will be according to the scale of 
intellectual purity of life of this world. 
There it will be that the greatest enjoy- 
ment or the highest heaven will be to 
those in the highest scale of intellectual 
purity of life, while the greatest sorrows 
or the darkest hell will be to those of 
the lowest scale of intellectual impurity 
of life. At the same time, while the 
brightest heaven or the darkest hell will 
be to those of the higher scale of intel- 
lectual purity or impurity of life, there 



92 The Tree of Worlds 

will be all grades of purity or impurity 
of human life that will enter that spirit 
world, just as there are in this world, 
whose happiness or sorrows will be accord- 
ing to their scale of intellectual purity 
of life in this world. It could not be 
otherwise, for individual human life, 
like all creation, can only grow to that 
of a higher scale of purity through the 
law of evolution, the law of higher 
creation. It makes no difference how 
great or of what influence individual 
life was on earth, if that life was im- 
pure at heart, that impure life could 
not be blotted out until it is blotted out 
through that law of higher creation, 
evolution. So that it makes no differ- 
ence what position individual life holds 
in this world, their position in the next 
world will be in accord with their purity 
of intellectual life in this world. 

Again we ask, what of life in the next 
world, the so-called spirit world? Is 
the life in that spirit world a life of 



Life in the Next World 93 

idleness, either in pleasure or sorrow, 
forever and ever, as pictured by man's 
imagination? Could it be possible accord- 
ing to the laws of creation for the period 
of life to be extended forever and ever, 
without growing to that of a higher 
or lower scale of purity or impurity 
through the law of evolution? Could 
it be possible for the soul to be active 
enough in life to enjoy the pleasures or 
sorrows of life in the spirit world, yet 
be inactive as to growth? Or would 
it be possible for this soul, either pure 
or impure, to lie dormant in growth 
forever and ever under the great law 
of waste and accumulation? For the 
soul must be nourished by absorption 
from life. How, then, would it be possi- 
ble according to the great law of waste 
and accumulation for the soul to lie 
dormant forever and ever, when the 
same laws that govern life in this world 
govern the same life in the next world? 
How, then, could life be so materially 



94 The Tree of Worlds 

different in the next world, as to the 
growth of life from a lower to that 
of a higher scale of intellectual life, from 
what it is in this world? Life in the 
next world is analogous in every way to 
what the creators had designed life to 
be in this world, and being a continua- 
tion of life in this world, each soul enters 
the next world in the same scale of 
intellectual life that it was in when 
it left this world; each soul being a life 
of active growth, enters the next world 
just where it left off life in this world. 
The infant, the middle aged and the 
aged all begin life in the next world 
just where they left off life in this world. 
There will be no day of judgment; no 
calling together of human life, that they 
may be judged as to their life in this 
world. Such could not be possible, as 
the great laws of creation will judge 
every soul that passes into the next 
world by placing each soul in the scale 
of purity or impurity in which it be- 



Life in the Next World 95 

longs; so that it makes no difference 
how great or how low life has been 
estimated in this world, if that life has 
been a vicious or deceitful life, it will 
be found among that scale of life in the 
next world. Nor will it make any differ- 
ence how famous life has been in this 
world, for deeds and acts of valor; if 
those deeds and acts of that life have not 
been in accord with the purity of the 
great laws of creation, that soul will 
be found in the next world in the scale 
of intellectual life of purity or impurity 
in which it was in this world. For each 
soul in the next world will be in the 
same scale of intellectual life as to 
purity or impurity that it was in 
this world — not intellectually accord- 
ing to the teachings of man, but intel- 
lectually in the broadest sense of the 
purity of life, according to the great 
true laws of creation. 



CHAPTER XIV. 

A TRUE CIVILIZED LIFE. 

What would the life of a truly civilized 
and intelligent people be? Would it be 
the vicious and strenuous life which we 
are living, a life in which every law of 
nature is being violated, a life of strife 
wherein treachery marks every phase 
of human life, a life in which there 
exists but little honesty or integrity? — 
for dishonesty and chicanery are found 
in all walks of life. A life of so-called 
teachings, yet a life of ignorance, for 
we are as yet ignorant of the first prin- 
ciples of nature's great broad and true 
laws of creation. A life where man's 
greed for power has destroyed the true 
or finer instincts of human life. A life 
where the curse of man's tyranny has 
marred the purity and happiness of 
human life from the blackest slavery 

97 



98 The Tree of Worlds 

down to that of the marriage vow. A 
life wherein every phase of human life 
has felt the tyrannical power of man's 
narrow teachings, which had their origin 
in the unnatural assuming power of man. 
A life of a truly civilized and highly 
intelligent people would be the reverse 
of that which we are living. If we 
were truly civilized and highly intelli- 
gent according to nature's laws, there 
would be no wars; there would be no 
tyrannical slavery; there would be no 
binding of woman and man together for 
life according to man's institution of 
marriage. There would be no monopoly 
of power by man, for there is not one 
creation that can be pointed out wherein 
one element or organ has the monopoly 
of power over the other. Why, then, in 
human life, should man hold the monopo- 
ly of the governing power? Why should 
there be wars? Why should there be 
this tyrannical slavery by man's oppres- 
sive laws? Why should one nation own 



True Civilized Life 99 

or control another? Why should one 
nation go out and destroy another nation 
by force? Why not let the smaller 
nation grow from infancy to that of 
maturity, as all creations grow? Why 
should woman be bound to man, or 
man to woman, for life, when it is 
contrary to every known law of nature? 
What is it but domestic slavery? Look 
at the thousands of children born with 
vicious and criminal habits inherited 
through this unhappy condition of the 
parents. There is no doubt but what 
two-thirds of criminal life could be 
traced back to this bondage of mar- 
riage. Every marriage should be legal- 
ized according to a contract or agree- 
ment wherein the woman and man 
should live together as wife and husband 
as long as they could live together hap- 
pily. If such were the case there 
would not be one divorce where there 
are fifty now, for, as woman is growing 
in intelligence, she soon awakens after 



I F 



100 The Tree of Worlds 

marriage to the fact that her husband 
considers her his property, and that 
she is practically bound in slavery for 
life. From these thoughts, which will 
steal into her mind after matrimonial 
experience, life becomes irksome, and 
unhappiness is sure to follow. Where 
if both the wife and husband knew that 
they could be freed, through unhappiness, 
at any time, that it depended upon the 
love and attention one could give to 
the other, there would be but little 
unhappiness, and but few divorces to 
what there are. 

But why has man this monopolistic 
power when it is so contrary to every 
law of creation? Is it because man is 
more intelligent than woman, or because 
he has greater power than that of woman? 
Man has this monopolistic power simply 
because he stole it, and has maintained 
it through his dominant creeds, which 
are the basis of man's monopolistic 
power. If we were, truly civilized and 



True Civilized Life 101 

highly intelligent, according to the great 
and true laws of creation, there would be 
no monopolistic power exercised by either 
woman or man. For if woman had the 
same monopolistic power in place of 
man, no doubt but what her power 
would become as tyrannical and oppres- 
sive as that of man. This is seen in 
ail creation, from human life down to 
the elements that constitute organic life, 
and as all creation, from human life 
down to the elements that constitute 
organic life, is created in the two sexes, 
the female and the male, there must be 
harmony between the two sexes for 
purity and happiness of life. 



CHAPTER XV. 

OF THE RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL WORLD. 

Of the religious and social world — 
what of them? What of churches, and 
what of social pleasures? Should there 
be churches, and should there be any 
restraint of the pleasures of life? Should 
the pleasures of life be equal to that 
of labor? There should be churches, 
and always will be churches, but there 
should be no such churches of formality 
dominated by the monopolistic power 
of man under the guise of God's churches, 
as the churches of the present day. 
There should be no churches dominated 
by fanatical women and men. They 
only prey upon the unthinking, for the 
glorification of themselves. All churches 
should be informal institutions of edu- 
cational and social life, where all the 
beauties and pleasures of life should be 

103 



104 The Tree of Worlds 

taught by the freedom of both sexes. 
The teachings of the great, broad and 
true laws of creation should be their 
creeds and laws, in place of man's dog- 
matic teachings. There should be 
churches as broad in their teachings 
as the great, broad and true laws of 
creation, and as liberal in their teachings 
of the pleasures and happiness of human 
life. No church can be too broad in 
its teachings of the beauties and pleas- 
ures of life, for, of all the great laws of 
creation, none is greater than the law 
of freedom. Honesty and integrity 
should be their religion. All teachings 
of human life should be based on these 
two principles, honesty and integrity, 
with the great broad and true laws of 
creation as our guide in all life. If 
human life had been taught according to 
these tAvo principles, as our religion, 
with the great, broad and true laws 
of creation as our guide, in place of 
man's dogmatic creeds, we would be 



Religious and Social World 105 

thousands of years in advance of civili- 
zation and intellectual life to what we 
are. Human life would be so different 
to what it is that there could be no 
comparison. Of the pleasures of life — 
they should be on the broadest basis 
possible, and should be equal to that 
of labor. In the pleasures of life there 
is found the analogy of all creations, 
as there is the opposite, there can be 
both good and bad arise from all the 
pleasures of life. Why, then, con- 
demn some and not others? Select the 
good from the bad of all the pleasures 
of life and place them on the broadest 
scale possible, and the good will be 
accepted and the bad rejected, it be- 
ing the tyrannical restraint placed upon 
many harmless pleasures of life which 
makes both the good and the bad accept- 
able. 



CHAPTER XVI. 

WHAT OF NATIONS? 

But what of the different nations of 
human life that occupy the root of 
this tree of worlds as nations? Will 
they stand as nations as long as this 
tree of worlds stands? Or will they 
decay and pass away analogous to all 
created life? The same law that governs 
created life governs that of all national, 
educational and business institutions, 
even down to the affairs of every-day 
life. Was there ever a vegetable, human 
or animal life so great or so strong and 
intelligent that it did not decay and 
pass away and another in a higher scale 
of life take its place? Was there ever 
a nation so great or so powerful that it 
did not sooner or later decay and pass 
away and a greater and more intelli- 
gent nation take its place? This is 

107 



108 The Tree of Worlds 

shown in history, from the so-called 
Holy Land down to that of Spain, 
which in a few thousand years will be -a 
nation of the past, as will that of other 
nations which are gradually decaying and 
losing their power. Was there ever an 
educational or business institution so 
great or so powerful in wealth that 
it did not sooner or later pass away and 
a larger and more intelligent one take 
its place? This is shown in some of 
our greatest educational and business 
institutions of the present day, how, 
gradually, they decay and pass away, 
while others, in their prime of life, are 
growing greater and broader in their 
teachings and business principles than 
those that are passing away, analogous 
to that of all created life. In the phe- 
nomenal life and growth of all national, 
educational and business institutions 
there are seen the same phenomena of 
life as in that of created life. In nations 
there are the large and powerful and the 



What of Nations? 109 

small and weak, the humane and the sav- 
age, the intelligent and the non-intelligent, 
the prosperous and the non-prosperous, 
the rich and the poor, the long lived 
and the short lived. In educational 
and business institutions there are the 
same phenomena of life. There are the 
large and the small, the rich and the 
poor, the prosperous and the non-prosper- 
ous; in fact, there is not one thing that 
can be pointed out in the phenomenal 
life and growth of national, educational 
and business life that its analogy is 
not found in that of created life, which 
is proof that the same laws that govern 
created life govern national, educational 
and business life. 

Of the many great laws of creation 
which govern both created and phenom- 
enal life, there is another law which gov- 
erns all life, either created or phenomenal, 
from the life of this great tree of worlds 
down to the affairs of e very-day life. 
This law is the law of reverses, or law 



110 The Tree of Worlds 

of equalization; a law in which one 
reverse follows another. In the life 
of this great tree of worlds, as in 
that of all creation, there is found 
darkness and then light, cold and then 
heat, rain and then dry, storms and 
then calms, clouds and then clearness; in 
fact, there is not one thing that can be 
pointed out in the life of this tree of 
worlds that does not exist in reverses. 
In vegetable, human and animal life there 
is the same phenomenal law of reverses. 
In vegetable life, one season they will 
bear perfect fruit, and the next season 
imperfect; some seasons plentiful, and 
the next season but little. So it is 
with all human life, there is the same 
phenomena of life; even in the affairs 
of every-day lif e will this law of reverses 
be seen by the student of life. So it 
is with the phenomenal life of national, 
educational and business life. In nation- 
al life there is either prosperity or non- 
prosperity, and so on through the whole 



What of Nations? Ill 

national life. In educational and busi- 
ness life there is seen the same law. 
They are either prosperous or non- 
prosperous. Business will vary, even in 
prosperity. One season good, the next 
not so good. One season everything 
will pass off smoothly, and the next 
season there will be man}^ things to 
detract from the natural trend of business 
life. So it is with the life of all educa- 
tional and business life, which shows 
that the same law which governs all 
created life governs the life of all national, 
educational and business life. 



CHAPTER XVII. 

MYSTERY OF NATURE. 

There is no mystery in nature — why 
should there be? Why should human 
life, the highest creation of life, be created 
in such a way that we could not under- 
stand our creation? Why should we 
need miracles to teach us, when the 
great laws of creation are set forth be- 
fore us so plainly. What object would 
the creators have in keeping us in igno- 
rance of our creation? Why should it 
be, when not only human life but all 
created life is growing more intelligent 
every day? Why does not the child 
know its alphabet before it is taught it? 
Why do we not know more of creation 
and life? Simply because we are like 
the child, we have never been taught it. 
We have been taught so long, according 
to man's mythical teachings, that we 
are dwarfed in our knowledge of the 
creators and their great, true laws of 

113 



114 The Tree of Worlds 

creation, the following of which would 
bring happiness and freedom of life in 
place of the artificial life of slavery, 
so-called modern life in which we are 
living under, man's tyrannical laws of 
oppression. Will this always be so? 
Will human life always be in ignorance 
of the true creators and created life 
as designed by the creators? Will life 
in this world always be the vicious, 
strenuous life which we are living under 
the teaching of man's monopolistic power? 
As sure as that great law of evolution, 
that law of higher creation, with the law 
of reverse, which rights all things, are 
laws of creation, just that sure the 
vicious, semi-civilized and Christianized 
life which we are living will pass away, 
and a greater and higher life will take 
its place; not tomorrow, nor next week, 
nor next year, nor by the teaching of 
any one person, creed or doctrine, but 
through the great law of higher creation, 
evolution. 



CHAPTER XVIII. 

THE GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE. 

Of this greater and higher life — what 
of it? Will it be a life dominated by 
man's monopolistic power, with his dom- 
inant creeds and principles of life under 
which we are living? Or will it be a 
life wherein the power of woman and 
man will be equal as in that of all crea- 
tions, with all life based upon the 
broadest and purest principles possible, 
a life wherein the happiness and pleasures 
of life will take the place of the life of 
tyrannical slavery which we are living 
under the guise of a civilized and modern 
life? In the greater and higher life 
which will take the place of this vicious 
semi-civilized and Christianized life which 
we are living, the power of woman and 
man will be equal, as in that of all 
created life, with all life based on the 

115 



116 The Tree of Worlds 

broadest and purest principles possible 
in the place of the narrow, tyrannical 
and crime-breeding principles under 
which we are living. In the Christian 
world all creeds and doctrines of man 
which have already begun to decay will 
pass- away as does that of all creation, 
and greater and higher teachings will 
take their place. Teachings based not 
on man's mythical imaginations and 
dominant creeds, but on the great, broad 
and true laws of creation, which know 
neither creed nor doctrine, and in which 
there can be no doubting and no dissen- 
sion. There will be different denomina- 
tions, and should be, for it is not nature 
for all to think and act alike. There 
will be two laws, which will be the re- 
ligion, the foundation and the teachings 
of all the churches. They are honesty 
and integrity, laws which are the foun- 
dation of all purity and happiness of 
life, and are the embodiment of the 
true laws of creation. All churches will 



Greater and Higher Life 117 

be institutions of education and social 
life, in which all walks of life will seek 
for the educational and social pleasures 
which they will afford. They will be 
churches devoid of all formalities; a 
short prayer and a short lecture on the 
instructive topics of life, with music of 
life and cheerfulness, will constitute the 
service. There will be connected with 
the churches the social, theater and 
opera, with every social pleasure, even 
the social dance, which is one of the 
greatest enjoyments of social life, and 
as harmless to the purity of life as that 
of the most simple enjoyments of life 
that can be found. There will be these 
social enjoyments for the children as well 
as for the adults. Why should there 
not be these pleasures for children? Give 
to children the pleasures and the hap- 
piness of life on the broadest scale pos- 
sible, and you will educate them in the 
purities and happiness of life. Teach 
them that there can be both good and 



118 The Tree of Worlds 

bad arise from all the pleasures of life, 
but that the real pleasures are ;n that 
of the pure, and they will grow up seek- 
ing the good in place of the bad. Such 
will be the teachings of the churches in 
this greater and higher life. 



CHAPTER XIX. 

EDUCATION OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER 
LIFE. 

In the educational world of this greater 
and higher life, the education will be on 
a broader and higher scale than what 
it is at the present time. Children will 
be taught not only the greater and 
higher education, on a broader scale, 
but will be taught the refinements of 
life, in connection with their education. 
In the place of the barren, ill-equipped 
and ill-kept school rooms, devoid of 
every comfort and beauty, with hard, 
ill-shaped seats to deform the tender 
bodies; every school room will be a 
school parlor, with every beauty and 
comfort that can be afforded for the 
comfort of the young and tender child. 
In this school parlor children will be 
taught the refinements of life. Each 

119 



120 The Tree of Worlds 

school building will be equipped with 
an anteroom for changing the toilet for 
this school parlor, where every comfort 
of home life can be found. How many 
thousands of children who have poor 
homes and poor surroundings will learn 
the refinements of life and the pleasures 
of a beautiful home in this way! As 
they grow up to womanhood and manhood 
they will crave and seek a home similar 
to this school parlor, the image of which 
will cling to their minds all through 
life. It will instill into them a pride 
which could not be taught them in any 
other way. In the teachings of this 
greater and higher education, the chil- 
dren will not be taught to repeat or 
learn what is taught them in the words 
of an adult, or as taught in the books. 
They will be taught to learn everything 
by mental life, and to repeat it in their 
own words ; even the rules of all problems 
will be taught as mental pictures. Their 
whole life will be a mental picture of 



Education of this Higher Life 121 

the practical part of an educational life. 
It is wonderful how the mind can be 
trained to absorb everything in life as 
a mental picture. There is no end to 
the expansion of the mind when properly 
trained in this way. Every child will 
be taught to think for itself and to 
ask itself the question : Is this right, 
or is this wrong? or, Why is this so 
— why should it be so? Teach a child 
on this basis and it will learn more in 
one month than what it will in a year 
taught in any other way. They will 
all become investigators and will seek 
the highest knowledge of life. In this 
greater and higher education there will 
be no crowding or overtaxing of the 
young mind, as at the present time. 
Look at the thousands of children who, 
year by year, have both their minds and 
bodies dwarfed, and their intellects 
blighted by being forced to learn by 
main strength and awkwardness what 
little they do learn, just as it is in the 



122 The Tree of Worlds 

books. Think of it; for nine months 
out of each year and eight hours of each 
day these young, tender brains are 
forced to pore over their books, to 
learn a few problems given in other 
people's words, and then call it educa- 
tion. Look at the thousands of stu- 
dents of both sexes who go out into 
the world from colleges and make a 
failure in life, simply because they have 
nothing but a smattering of a book 
knowledge, expressed in other people's 
words, which avails them but little. 
How painful it is to watch these poor, 
misguided students, who are found in 
both business and professional life. 
Better, indeed, would it have been 
for them if they had been taught only 
to read and write, or the simple rule 
of three, and sent out into the world 
with a clear brain, healthy body, and 
self-reliance. In the teachings of this 
higher education, the child will be first 
taught the art of physical beauty and 



Education of this Higher Life 123 

culture, the lack of which has ruined 
many a bright and promising child. 
They should be taught that self-pride 
and self-respect are a part of an educa- 
tion, and are essential for a prosperous 
life. Every child may be made wholly 
or partially beautiful in both face and 
form, as well as in that of manner, by 
the art of physical beauty and culture, 
which, in the education of this greater 
and higher life, will be taught. 

In the practical education of the 
greater and higher life, no child will be 
allowed to study for more than two 
to four hours each day, nor more than 
two studies at a time, until they are in 
their teens, and then not more than 
three. No school year for the child 
will be more than six months during 
the year, increased to eight as they grow 
older. Every study, from the alphabet 
up, will be taught as a mental picture, 
to be expressed in their own words. 
They will be taught nothing but the 



124 The Tree of Worlds 

practical part of all the subjects, the 
rules of all problems, which will be 
absorbed as part of mental life. No 
mind should ever be overtaxed or over- 
worked, especially in the child, for the 
mind is like the body — if it is overworked 
it soon becomes stupid and prematurely 
old. But if trained to absorb every- 
thing by mental picture or by mental 
life, it is wonderful what it will absorb 
without harm to either mind or body. 
If every child was taught from child- 
hood up in this way, there would be no 
studying by main strength and awk- 
wardness, no overtaxing the mind and 
body by burning the midnight lamp; 
no drones in either professional or busi- 
ness life, for each mind would be free 
to grasp the problems of a greater and 
higher education and life. 



CHAPTER XX. 

MATRIMONY OF THE GREATER AND HIGHER 
LIFE. 

In the rriatrimonial world of the 
greater and higher life, the present form 
of matrimony, which originated with 
man in his primitive days through his 
monopolistic power, and which practically 
enslaved woman for centuries, will pass 
away, and a greater and higher form 
of matrimony will take its place — a 
form wherein woman will have equal 
rights and privileges with those of man ; 
where she will have the same privilege 
to go out in the world and select a 
husband as a man has to select a wife. 
Why should she not? Why should wom- 
an be deprived of this privilege of seek- 
ing a husband, as man seeks a wife, 
when it is in accord with nature's laws? 
How many thousands of unhappy mar- 

125 



126 The Tree of Worlds 

riages there are because woman has 
not this privilege! She accepts man's 
offer of marriage — not because he is her 
choice, but because she fears she may 
not have another chance, as she has 
not the privilege of seeking another to 
her own liking. In the marriage life 
of this greater and higher life there will 
be no binding of man and woman together 
for life in marriage . Why should there be, 
when it is contrary to every law of crea- 
tion? Could it be possible that the cre- 
ators would require a woman and man 
to live together for life in unhappiness, 
bearing children with vicious and crimi- 
nal habits, inherited through this un- 
happy marriage? As woman grows from 
the shackles of domestic life to the free- 
dom of a greater and higher life, she 
will demand a greater and higher form 
of marriage, wherein she will have the 
same rights and privileges as that of 
man; rights and privileges wherein 
the marriage ceremony will be accord- 



Matrimony of the Higher Life 127 

ing to a legal contract, wherein the 
wife will have the same rights and privi- 
leges as that of the husband, as long as 
they can live together happily. Should 
the marriage prove unhappy, the wife 
binds herself to care for the children, 
and the husband binds himself to pro- 
vide for them until of age. Not only 
will there be this greater freedom in 
the marriage vow of this greater and 
higher life, but the narrow, ignorant 
mock-modesty which is thrown around 
the matrimonial world will be cast aside, 
and both woman and man will be taught 
the art and science of selecting a proper 
mate in marriage, not through any law 
requiring a medical examination, but will 
be taught according to the great, broad 
laws of creation, which are the only guide 
to a greater and higher matrimonial life. 



CHAPTER XXI. 

THE POLITICAL WORLD OF THIS GREATER 
AND HIGHER LIFE. 

In the political world of this greater 
and higher life, will it be the vicious 
and corrupt politics of the present day, 
which can be best described as a bun- 
co game, in which the people are bun- 
coed through their stupidity in following 
the dictates of the vicious elements of 
party politics under the guise of respect- 
ability! There will always be two lead- 
ing parties, and should be, as it is accord- 
ing to nature. There are two sides to 
all questions, and both good and bad 
in all parties. This, too, is nature. No 
one party is wholly right or wrong in 
everything, so that the voter who votes 
all his life for the party name or party 
issue, or because he was taught to vote 

129 



130 The Tree of Worlds 

that way, is simply an incompetent 
voter, no more capable of casting an 
intelligent vote than the most incompe- 
tent voter that is allowed to vote. In 
selecting candidates for office of the 
political parties of the present day the 
active element of the different parties 
look around not for statesmen, men 
of ability, or men who would be the peo- 
ple's choice, but for men who will make 
them the best political servants, who will 
pledge themselves to do their bidding as 
good and faithful servants. They then 
call a great convention to nominate 
and advertise these honorable servants; 
and how they throw around them the 
guise of respectability, prate about and 
magnify their virtues, until they are 
made perfect in the sight of the unthink- 
ing people, and how they will pat the 
people on the back and call them wise! 
Oh yes, we will leave it to the people — 
they are wise — and how the voters will 



Political World of this Higher Life 131 

walk up to the poles and cast their 
votes for these great and honored politi- 
cal servants whom they have selected for 
the people, and who have pledged them- 
selves to serve them as good and faithful 
servants! After the election, what then? 
Buncoed ! for hardly are the votes counted 
until this active element begins to divide 
the spoils among themselves, and the 
people are forgotten, except to be robbed 
in every conceivable way possible. But 
in the greater and higher life this poli- 
tical bunco game will be a thing of 
the past. People through that great 
law of higher creation will become edu- 
cated to look after their own interest, 
not only in the political world but in all 
the affairs of life. In place of leaving 
the nomination of political candidates 
to the active element of any party, 
the people of each party will call a con- 
vention of the people at large and will 
nominate statesmen, men of ability who 



132 The Tree of Worlds 

are not pledged to serve the active 
element of any party, but who will 
stand for the people of all parties, wher- 
ever it is to the interest of the people 
to do so. 

While they may have party prefer- 
ences — that is natural, for no person can 
be wholly independent in anything — yet 
they will stand for the people, regardless 
of any party influences. After the nom- 
ination the favored one will be elected by 
the popular vote, in place of the electoral 
vote, so that if elected they will be the 
choice of the people, and not of the active 
element of the party. In the political 
world of this greater and higher life, 
woman will have the same privilege as 
that of man, which will place the po- 
litical world on a broader and higher 
scale, according to the laws of creation. 
Honor and integrity will take the place 
of chicanery and deception. Peace and 
happiness will take the place of tyranni- 
cal strife. All laws will be based on the 



Political World of this Higher Life 133 

broad laws of creation, in place of the 
monopolistic power of man, so that the 
political world will be looked upon as an 
institution of trust, in place of distrust, 
as at the present day. 



CHAPTER XXII. 

THE COMMERCIAL WORLD OF THIS GREATER 
AND HIGHER LIFE. 

In the commercial world of this greater 
and higher life, will it be where the 
monopolistic power of commercial life is 
destroying all competition, that they 
may force the people to pay an exhorbi- 
tant price for all the commodities of 
life, or, in other words, rob the people 
of the natural competition of commer- 
cial life? Not satisfied in robbing people 
by this monopolistic power, they will 
issue worthless monopolistic stock, which 
they sell to the unthinking people at a 
high valuation, and then force it down 
until worthless. Another bunco game, 
an offspring of the political world, where- 
in a few business bunco steerers, so- 
called financiers, under the guise of 
respectability, are absorbing the wealth 

135 



136 The Tree of Worlds 

of the people, just as a sponge absorbs 
water — legalized under the guise of re- 
spectability by the monopolistic power of 
man. But will this always be the case? 
Will there always be this bunco business 
in the business world? In the business 
world of the greater and higher life, 
there will be no robbing of the people 
through the monopolistic power of 
wealth. There will be no bunco game in 
the way of inflating, worthless stocks 
under the guise of financiering. This 
will all be a thing of the past, decayed 
and passed away, and a greater and 
higher business world will take its place. 
People through that great law of higher 
creation, evolution, will have become 
educated to that state wherein they will 
stand for honesty and integrity in all 
business. So there will be no combina- 
tion of monopolistic wealth for the pur- 
pose of robbing the people. All business 
will be based upon purely business 
principles. There will be no issuing of 



The Commercial World 137 

stock with false value. Every company 
will do business under a charter or 
license and will operate under an ap- 
praised valuation, and will not be allowed 
to issue stock above its proper value. 
All business will be on the broadest 
basis possible to be on a sound and 
business basis. As the people become 
educated according to nature's great 
laws of creation in place of the narrow 
principles under which we are living, 
they will become broader in business 
principles, as well as in that of all life, 
making the business world a world of 
pleasure in place of a world of strife. 
This will be the business world of the 
greater and higher life. 



CHAPTER XXIII. 

FINANCIAL WORLD OF THIS GREATER AND 
HIGHER LIFE. 

Of the financial world of this greater 
and higher life — what can be said of it? 
Will it always be the monopolistic finan- 
cial world of the present day? A finan- 
cial world based on the monopolistic 
power of man, wherein the element of 
gold stole the power of the element of sil- 
ver, as man stole the power of woman, 
not by force nor by stealth, but by the 
false doctrine of a single money standard, 
which is contrary to every law of crea- 
tion, and gives to the financial world 
the power to deprive the people of the 
natural power of the two elements of 
the financial world, a deprivation which 
is not only vicious and tyrannical, but 
contrary to that of a liberal and honest 
financial world, and is another offspring 

139 



140 The Tree of Worlds 

of the political world, which stands as a 
monument of the monopolistic power of 
the financial world, made so by the 
cursed greed of the glittering gold. In 
the greater and higher life, the financial 
world, like that of man, will be shorn of 
its monopolistic power, through that 
great law of higher creation, that law 
of reverses which rights all things. The 
element of silver, the power of which 
was stolen by the element of gold, will 
again take its place in the financial 
world, not as an inferior element or 
power, but a power equal to that of 
gold, for gold is propagating and 
multiplying so much faster than sil- 
ver that it will only be a question of 
time until silver will be more valua- 
ble than gold, and as people become 
educated according to the great laws 
of creation, in place of those of man, 
they will demand a financial world 
based on the same great laws. Thus 
it will be that the element of gold will 



Financial World 141 

be robbed of its monopolistic power and 
placed in the financial world on a broad 
and honest basis, so that it will create 
and maintain the confidence of the 
people as well as that of the commercial 
world, and will be in accord with the 
great true laws of creation, which broad- 
ens the life of all created life, as well as 
that of all phenomenal life. 



CHAPTER XXIV. 

TEACHINGS OF A GREATER AND HIGHER 
LIFE. 

In the teachings of this world of 
greater and higher life, there will be the 
reverse of what we are taught at the 
present time, reversed not by man's 
laws or teachings, for they, like the life 
we are living, are of deceit, from the 
foundation up, but will be reversed by 
the teachings of the great true laws of 
creation, which in their broadness recog- 
nize nothing but the principles of the 
purity of life, in which honor and integrity 
will be the foundation for all teachings, 
and from which will arise human life in 
its highest scale of the intellectual 
purity of life. In place of being taught 
that our sins or the sins of a vicious 
life can be forgiven through an inter- 
mediatory or idol of flesh and blood, 

143 



144 The Tree of Worlds 

they can only be forgiven after repent- 
ance through that great law of higher crea- 
tion, evolution, and not from any direct 
appeal, and that, there being both good 
and bad in all things, we are free agents 
to act within ourselves through a power 
given us by the creators, that, through 
this freedom of life, we are free to 
choose between the good and the bad, 
so that all lives can repent of their sins, 
but can only rise from a lower scale 
of life in which their sins have placed 
them to that of a higher scale through 
that great law of higher life, evolution. 
In the educational world, from child- 
hood up, they will be taught that a 
true education can only be had through 
absorption by mental life of the practi- 
cal part of all problems of life, and by the 
study of all life through mental picture 
the mind can become so broadened and 
the purities of life so charming that the 
evils of life are practically forgotten. In 
fact, there can be no comprehension, 



Teachings of d Higher Life 145 

except to the student of life, of the differ- 
ence between the life we are living, under 
the narrow teachings of man, and what 
life will be under the teachings of the 
great true laws of creation, except to 
say that one is the life of the slavery 
of sin, and the other the life of the 
freedom of purity; one is hell and the 
other heaven. Such will be the teachings 
of this greater and higher life. 



CHAPTER XXV. 

PLEASURES OF THE GREATER AND HIGHER 
LIFE. 

Of the pleasures of this greater and 
higher life there could be volumes written 
from the standpoint of the vicious and un- 
intelligent life which we are living, under 
the guise of a civilized and modern life. 
Yet, according to a true scientific and 
intelligent life based on the true laws 
of creation as designed by the creators, 
the substance of the pleasures of life 
can be expressed in a few words, for, in 
the greater and higher life, which will be 
based on the true laws of creation, the 
pleasures of life will be set forth in such 
broad and liberal principles that their 
purity can be readily seen. The teachings 
that many pleasures of life should be 
avoided because they might lead to evil 
will be teachings of the past and a 

147 



148 The Tree of Worlds 

broader and more intelligent teaching 
as to the pleasures of life will take their 
place, teachings wherein it will be taught 
that there can be both good and bad 
arise from all the pleasures of life, but 
that the purities of all the pleasures of 
life should be enjoyed upon the broadest 
basis possible ; that it is not the evils that 
follow the purity of the pleasures of 
life, but the evils which are made out of 
them, and that the real pleasures of life 
are in the good and not in the evil, 
and that the pleasures of life consist in 
every enjoyment that is not harmful to 
the mind and body and the purity of life. 
In all life, the pleasures of life should equal 
that of labor. There is no evil greater 
than the abuse of the mind and body, for 
it is an abuse of that which was given us 
by the creators for the enjoyment of 
life, so that there is no law of man more 
vicious and tyrannical than the law which 
compels human or animal life to abuse 
the mind and body for a compensation. 



Pleasures of the Higher Life 149 

There is no one law of man that will do 
as much to degrade and destroy the 
pleasures and happiness of human 
life as those laws dictated by the greed 
of man, but in this greater and higher 
life, this will all be reversed; human life 
through the great law of higher creation 
will grow to that stage of intellectual 
life wherein there will be an equality 
of power between capital and labor, 
which will bring harmony to both, and 
which will be based on the great laws 
of creation, wherein one could not exist 
without the other, and where there can 
be no monopolistic power with either. 
This will bring to human life many 
pleasures of life which have been dwarfed 
through the greed of man's tyrannical 
power. 



CHAPTER XXVI. 

HAPPINESS OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER 
LIFE. 

Of the happiness of this greater and 
higher life, will it be far above the 
happiness of this present life we are 
living, under the vicious, tyrannical and 
monopolistic power of man, which, like 
the seed sown in poor soil, is of poor 
quality and but little of it ? Look around 
us at the toil and strife in all life, and 
ask yourself, Where is the pleasure of 
this life of boasted civilization? Is it 
simply in the fact that we live, or does 
happiness lie in a life of toil and strife, 
where deceit and chicanery are the ruling 
spirit? Would it be possible under the 
present conditions of life for there to 
be any true happiness, or, in other words, 
a high grade of happiness in the true 
sense of the word? There can be no 

151 



152 The Tree of Worlds 

true happiness in the life we are living. 
There might be a poor grade of happiness 
in some of the pleasures of life, but 
there are so many sorrows in other phases 
that the sorrows overshadow those of 
the happiness; but in the greater and 
higher life it will be reversed, for the 
propagation of happiness on a greater 
and higher scale will take the place of 
the poor — not through the laws of man, 
but through the great laws of higher 
creation, wherein all life will be on a 
greater and higher scale of intellectual 
purity, or, in other words, of a higher 
grade of intellectual soil of the purity of 
life. In place of the life of toil and strife 
which we are living we will have peace 
and happiness. Honesty and integrity 
will take the place of deceit and chica- 
nery ; in place of toil and strife, day in 
and day out, the hours of pleasure and 
rest will equal that of labor; while there 
will always be commercial competition, 
honestv and inlcjirity will be the basis 



Happiness of this Higher Life 153 

of all commercial life, which will do 
away with all the dishonest and vicious 
strife of commercial life. In the social 
world, the religion of honesty and integ- 
rity, with the broadening of the freedom 
of all laws, as well as that of all life, 
according to the great laws of creation, 
will broaden the scope of tho purity of 
life, and enrich the soil for the propaga- 
tion of a greater and higher life of 
happiness. 



CHAPTER XXVII. 

THE SORROWS OF THIS GREATER AND 
HIGHER LIFE. 

Of the sorrows of this greater and 
higher life — will they be found in every 
phase of life, as in the present life? 
Will death to the truly intellectual life 
bring the same sorrows as it does in the 
life which we are living? Could it be 
possible, according to the great laws of 
creation, for there to be no sorrows? 
Would it be possible to live a life of 
happiness, either in this world or the 
next, without sorrow? There will al- 
ways be sorrows in life, both in this 
world and the next, for, like all creation, 
sorrow and happiness are the two oppo- 
sites, which are controlled by the law 
of reverses, as in that of all life. But 
in this vicious life which we are living 
the sorrows of life greatly overshadow 

155 



156 The Tree of Worlds 

that of the happiness, for we are living 
a life indicative of sorrows in place of 
happiness, but in this greater and higher 
life, in place of living a life indicative 
of sorrows, it will be of happiness. 
Honor will be the religion of life, through 
which the many evils of life, the founda- 
tion of the greatest sorrows, will decay 
and pass away, so that both the decaying 
and the passing of the sorrows of life 
will be the passing of the many sorrows 
which are the greatest burden of the 
vicious life which we are living. But 
in the greater and higher life the sorrows 
from the evils of life will be but few, 
and the sorrows from the passing of life 
will be considered in a different light 
from what they are in the life we are 
living. There will be no uncertainty as 
to the hereafter. Every life will be 
judged in this world as in that of the 
next by their life of deeds and acts, 
and not creeds, so that there will 
be less sorrow from the evils of life, 



Sorroivs of this Higher Life 157 

and, while there will always be sor- 
row from the passing of the life of 
those who are loved, even of the pure 
life, it will be the sorrow of the more 
intelligent life, according to the great 
laws of creation, which will mitigate the 
sorrows of the passing of life. Of the 
sorrows of the next world — they will be 
but few; life having been shorn of all 
crudeness, the purity and happiness of 
life will be so great that there will be 
but few sorrows outside of the passing 
of life, which will be analogous to that 
of this world, except in a higher scale 
of purity ; for life in the next world, being 
a continuation of life from this world, 
will be governed by the same laws 
of creation in all life, as well as in that of 
the sorrows and happiness of life. Such 
will be the sorrows of this greater and 
higher life, as well as that of the next. 



CHAPTER XXVIII. 

PURITY OF THE GREATER AND HIGHER 
LIFE. 

Of the purity of the greater and 
higher life — let us first ask, What con- 
stitutes the purity of life? What marks 
a pure and perfect life? Is it a life of 
morbid inactivity as to the pleasures of 
life? Is it a life wherein the natural pleas- 
ures of life are taught through morbid 
teachings which would be contrary to ev- 
ery law of creation, a law wherein the 
mind has been dwarfed through the 
narrow teachings of self-sacrifice as to 
the pleasure of life? Is such a life a 
pure and perfect life? Could it be, 
when it is contrary to the great laws of 
nature's freedom? Would it be likely 
that the creators would design such a 
life under the guise of the purity of 
life, after creating the pleasures of life? 

159 



160 The Tree of Worlds 

What was life created for? Could the 
creators be so selfish as to create the 
pleasures of life and then deny life the 
purity of these pleasures, under the 
guise of impurity of life? Such could 
not be the case, so that the morbid 
and inactive self-sacrificing life, as to 
the pleasures of life, is not a pure and 
perfect life, according to the great laws 
of created freedom, but a misguided 
life through morbid teachings. 

In the greater and higher life, the 
pure and perfect life will be the life 
which lives and enjoys the purity of 
life, according to the great and true 
law T s which know neither creeds nor 
doctrines; a life which recognizes the 
creators, the god and the god-head, as 
the creators and rulers of all creation, 
with honor and integrity as the founda- 
tion of the purity of life; a life of cheer- 
fulness and happiness that seeks and 
enjoys the purity and pleasures of life 
according to their likes — for in this, as in 



Purity of the Higher Life 161 

all life, they could not all be of the same 
mind; a life wherein, through the 
broadness of their purity, they have a 
word of cheer and a helping hand for 
all humanity and a humane feeling 
for all life; a life wherein a desire 
for the purity and pleasures of life is 
their prayer, with the purity of the 
great, broad and true laws of creation 
as their guide. Such will be the purity 
of this greater and higher human life, 
as designed by the creators of all life.
